Wellcome to our new website! Its been a hot few weeks of WordPress hell hear in the Surgery! But basically we’ve re-building the site to make it easier to find stuff. There’s currently over well over 60 different project posts covering film, installation, performance and artwork from almost 15 years of work now.. We hope you enjoy the site if your a new visitor or find it more user friendly if you’ve been before.. There’s a load of nice new features, lovely visual menu’s which make it easier to browse our projects, a simple concertina menu system to refine your searches. Easy links to all our favorite social networks and channels on Vimeo and Youtube. A special new “in Development” category where we will be announcing new projects that are in the pipeline along with ones we hope to get off the grown and may require your help! We’ve also decided to add an “Art” or “Commercial” colour code to the site and you can toggle between these global catagories at the top right hand corner of the site – allowing you to view all of our work from either perspective. So – we hope you enjoy the site and please subscribe to our newsletter to keep up to date on all things Light Surgeons.

Many, many thanks to Olivier Ruellet for all his hard work re-building the site and our new intern Miglena Minkova for being a wordpress trooper in the studio.
